Pygmy Puffer Question

jellie · 12-17-2012, 02:31 AM

Honestly I bet everyone here has ponds and rams. If you want some you probably only have to ask. I currently have Ramshorns in excess and will probably be asking a puffer owner to take them off my hands soon.

my puffer won't touch frozen or anything that isn't live. he'd actually starve himself unless i hand pick snails for him

conversely he would eat himself to death as long as there is live snails in his tank lol crazy little bugger

Thanks Gtu2004
I've kinda decided not to get them it takes me over an hr to get to China town. Plus 50% water changes every week seems a bit too much.

Thanks Ryan
I really want the puffers but I know my luck so I know I would get a whole tank of puffers just like yours. I'm hoping when we go fish shopping ill find something I like as much as the puffers. Also thanks for all your help
